From the photo with the right angle attachment it does not look like the same adapter as the C and T series??? Why would they do that?

Heeheee Post count!
Protool is site so this tool can be handy for more specialised jobs where they might be drillings screws or holes day in and day out! A normal carpenter joiner doing general joinery/carpentry I cant see it being of much benefit! BUT saying that im surprised festool arnt doing one like a CXS corded because in a work shop I dont see a real need for cordless drills. So having a corded one in a work shop like a CXS I personally would buy one for my work shop.

Some more info (in German) : link It's a good thing that they didn't put the direction lever in the same spot as on the duradrive drills. |

The two models Quadrill are:
1. The DRP 18 is a normal drilling machine
2. The PDP 20 is a (light) hammer drill for masonry or concrete with small diameters
The machine definitely looks good and is quite small for it's possibilities.
It looks like a cordless with a cord.
Why doesn't TTS (Festool/Protool) design a cordless drill which also has a Plug-it cord for when the batteries run out of power.

Good Afternoon I've got some details and prices for you, there are two drills, the DRP drill/driver and the PDP percussion drill/drill/driver. And there are versions with and without the angle chuck. So four derivatives altogether. Prices (which I am confident are correct but are subject to confirmation): PROTOOL 636563 DRP 18-4 DEC FF £245.65 + VATIncluding Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, Systainer PROTOOL 636564 DRP 18-4 DEC FF SET £330.65 + VATIncluding Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, angle head, systainer PROTOOL 636565 PDP 20-4 DEC FF £254.15 + VATIncluding Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, Systainer PROTOOL 636566 PDP 20-4 DEC FF SET £339.15 + VATIncluding Centrotec chuck, Centrotec bit holder, Bit, Keyless chuck, angle head, systainer I have all on order with a release date from Germany of 16/05/2012 (tomorrow). This means if the date doesn't get pushed back they will be with us next week. However as we have seen with the new cordless drills this date may slip. I hope not, because I'd really like one for home! Spec sheet from the presentation I was sent attached. I will list these on our www.professionaltool.co.uk website this afternoon and be accepting PRE-ORDERS for those who may want to be the first in the UK to own one. Best regards Warren |

A picture next to a CXS or T15 to compare size would be nice Warren!?!? Might stick in on my Wish list! As for now currently at the top of my Wish list but edging onto the need (want) side is the Protool Chain Mortiser! The counter balance is the COST ! Im trying to tip it over the edge its just a heavy counter weight!  JMB |

It would leave us tomorrow night on a 'next day' carrier and be delivered to you on Thursday. City Link or Interlink, whichever carrier you prefer?

The handle is about the size of the C15, the motor housing is a tiny bit bigger. If the specs are true then I'm amazed what power they got into this relatively small housing. |

I'm loving the high rpm! That's what attracting me to the drill mainly. Their isn't really anything like that on the market. A small drill with such high rpm! I got the milwuake Link which I bought because it was small (short) with high rpm! Well this protool doubles the milwueakee rpm! The DBB souber lock mortiser requires a high rpm drill to perform at its best the higher the better! Well this protool achieves that! |

I'm not Warren but I'm pretty sure Protool doesn't do 110v. |

Well gotta gotta start some where! Every time you replace a tool make it a 240v! I find having 110v and getting just one 240v tool is much easier. Than having all 240 and getting just 110v! Most of the time you run a lead to where you are working to plug a transformer in so you can just stick your 240v tool in the lead any way. I have two tools 110v. Wish I had never bought them in 110v So annoying that I just have to get my transformer out for one tool. Jmb |

iv got a mix of both. bought a few 110 s as i got a good deal on them.
i agree about the less power but i like my mini grinder 110 v more than the 240 v version.
the 110v cuts nicer on tile etc and is less skitish than the 240 v one. . ideally i would buy everything in 240 volt

Back on the topic of trannys ... you don't want to lug them about ... just keep them plugged in at home - otherwise it's too much hassle.
Thus far I've managed to avoid needing one - got close thinking about a cheap US Worksharp, but decided it was a bad idea.

Smart looking drill, if I didn't have so much other stuff I need  ... The old 240v vs 110v argument!!!! I wish the buffoons who manage all these large commercial sites would let us use 240v with either a circuit breaker on the tool or rcd on the power supply. They're more interested making sure you've got the right gloves on! I had an accident with a TS55 (110v) last year and I'm sure an electric brake (only on 240v tools) would have made a difference. Interestingly, my local Festool dealer says an EU law was passed over 10 years ago making 110v tools unenforceable. Go figure? |

It annoys me more because its NOT the law to use 110v your legally aloud to use 240 any were even on site! Its just because people sue all the time companies are scared and so they enforce the 110v but using a circuit breaker/RCD I should be aloud to use 240v! I refuse to work on jobs which make you use 110v I dont need them kinda jobs. Most of them kind of jobs are house bashers or big commercial jobs which are low skilled joiners any way. I didnt know about this EU law passed 10 years ago thats interesting! |

Apologies Warren for taking this off topic,
Most of them kind of jobs are house bashers or big commercial jobs which are low skilled joiners any way.
Haha, JMB direct and to the point! Well, I'm definitely not a house basher and I like to think I'm not low skilled. But I did work mainly on sites that required 110v, so my tools (Kapex, domino etc) had to reflect that. Now I'm split between our workshop and site, installing items we've made, doing the odd cut roof, my 240v collection started yesterday with a DTS400. I didnt know about this EU law passed 10 years ago thats interesting! Like I said, my local dealer told me. It kinda makes sense, Prohibition of trade through Europe. We can't use our tools over there easily and anyone from mainland Europe coming to work over here can't bring their kit either. |

Hi
No problem going off-topic. The 110v issue is obviously a issue for many contractors. It is also a bit of an issue for dealers, having to stock two voltages of every machine is expensive and space consuming.

Warren
